Premium MemberBad Weather

Politicians are like weather
That is hanging for decades
Cap in hand we’re light as feather
In the storm that never fades
Who would need a politician 
Their household to manage
Yet some do support ambitions
Of the mentally well damaged
Politicians are archaic 
Can't shut up their master’s voice
My jack russells bark in panic
I would never make a choice
Choosing not myself

Monkey in a cage

You’ll Pick out everybody’s problems but you wont help your self 
You’d rather sit alone in pity then take care of your health
You act like it’s everybody’s fault you’ve got nothing to gain
using Magic capsules to escape your own brain
Can’t give yourself a break so you wanna do it over again 
Someone help this monkey

Premium MemberBad Hair Day

Hair looked wild, got to hide my tattoo,
Because today I have a job interview.
I wear a long sleeve shirt, scarf, and hat,
To hide my dragon-skull and vampire bat.

Went into Blackrock, the secretary smiled,
I wanted to spend time with her a while,
Then she saw the beer stains on my shirt,
Decided she didn't want to flirt.

Talked to

Bad Manicure

No I don't like long nails 
And yes my relationships end soon
But it hurts because I care about my relationships more than my nails
The nailpolish doesn't stay on usually 
And my acts of love aren't compromised
But the only stain that gets deeper into my heart is of heartache
I bite my nails often 
And trust my

Premium MemberThe good, the bad, and the ugly

As the world turns and the days go by
life comes in waves of positive and negative
experiences, but occasionally a tsunami will
knock one senseless and it takes a while
for things to calm down and become manageable
again and I am looking forward to that season

Premium MemberFeeling Bad

Never mind,
though people
ignore me

crave not for
their praises
and credits

I feel bad
when people
show me wrong

Sheep that follow leaders and wear wool,
sadly, often don't live a life that's full
before the part of them that does remain
trades in their wool for cellophane.

Premium MemberI Ain't No Good

I ain’t no good, I don’t do the things I should,
My woman tells me ‘bout it all the time.
What I do wrong, well the list is mighty long,
But my woman seems to know it all by heart.

She got her degree, in what is wrong with me,
First a master’s, then a Ph.D.
She lectures all around, relatin’

I'VE SEEN IT ALL

I've seen it all
Very crystal clear 
How people 
Judge and condemn 
What they don't understand or can't control.

I've seen it all
Without a blurry vision 
How people spit at you
When you hit the rock bottom.

I've seen it all
The support is small
When you're building 
But very massive 
When you start winning.

I've seen it all 
I keep contemplating

Premium MemberA Bad Day All Around

I determined to take seize
of a lightning bolt! Paused
at every tree.  Flashed and
thundered all about – stood
by every metal post, just 
to see if God wanted me. 
Went to the nearest church…
prayed for a voice or sign: 
and from behind the altar
heard a gulping sound, 
pastor draining the sacrament
wine.  Not a good day.

Premium MemberHow bad can Health food be

Nutritious food, how bad can it be?
I stood in the organic section, wanting to pee.
Aren’t you glad you came with me?
This was my healthy cousin, Little Lulu Lee

I will meet you in the park said her brother Gore
I watched him sneak into the bakery next door
Have to potty, I’ll see you in the park too

Premium MemberExit music for a bad movie



"Exit music for a bad movie"

that shining kingdom
waits and watches 
numbed now to nightmares
its falling cuckold leaders 
deliver fools gold 
hungry homeless open palms receive 
broken promises overflowing
forgotten hymns and collection plates 
souls are worth blood in buried pain 
borders are drawn all are caged
the marriages not made in heaven
shelved for another day

Dear children swept like dust

The Battles Of A Bad Day's Night

If instinct could alert beforehand;
Reflecting moments as all stand...
The ought process of echoing mind,
For rights to get wrongs tightly bind-
Assign each voice unto confident tears,
Without been paired with fearful glares.
That, would make a day so bleak off sorrow,
And elegant enough to seek anew cum morrow.

If patience could read through broken glass...
Flexing with a system depicted
